Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini sliced thin
- ½ cup marinara sauce plus additional for topping
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ cup pesto
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly in the bottom. Set aside.
- Spray a grill or indoor grill pan with cooking spray and grill the zucchini slices for about 3 minutes per side, or until soft enough to roll.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, pesto, salt, and egg until completely combined.
- Spread a heaping tablespoon of filling onto each slice of zucchini, then roll. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Place an additional dollop of marinara sauce on top of each roll up.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 15 minutes (or until ricotta filling is heated through and set). Garnish with additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Leftovers will store well in the fridge for a few days, they can even be eaten cold with salad and are really delicious. I wouldn't recommend freezing this because of the dairy. The texture changes when frozen and it can also split and curdle, not good.
- Instead of grilling the zucchini you can also roast them in the oven just keep an eye on them that they don't burn as they cook fast.
- The zucchini lasagna rolls can be made in advance, placed in the fridge then brought out and baked when you're ready to eat.
- You can also top the lasagna rolls with extra mozzarella to make it extra cheesy.
- You can use basil pesto or sun dried tomato pesto which will also work well.
